” Here the writer introduces us to the Antagonist of the story, The Misfit, who comes to their rescue/execution. The writer shows the Protagonist, the grandmother, talking about The Misfit most of the times but does not takes it seriously, and later on they come face to face. Here the grandmother chats with Red Sam, which he initiates and grandmother joins in, “These days you don’t know who to trust, Ain’t that the truth?” They start talking about people and end up on the news that the grandmother had read in the paper, about The Misfit, “Did you read about that criminal, The Misfit, that’s escaped?” After the leave the dinner, when they’re outside of Toombsboro, the grandmother starts talking about a beautiful house she had visited when she was a young lady. The last words the grandmother speaks are that he like her child and touches him on the shoulder, the writer tells us that he backs up like if a snake had bitten him, by this the writer wants to tell us that The Misfit is not used to people touching him and this shows his mental health and the reason of his brutality, which is followed by three more shots to grandmother in the chest. Now the grandmother is terrified from the situation and can’t even speak, the only words that come out of her mouth are “Jesus, Jesus” the writer explains this moment, as if the grandmother wanted to curse The Misfit so bad that due her fear she could only say Jesus, Jesus in a way it sounded that she was cursing at The Misfit. " The next day they all set out for their trip in their car, the writer in a way compares the children’s mother and the Grandmother, for the way they are dressed. ” At this point the writer introduces us to the characters, presumably the children and their mother, she doesn’t give the mother’s name, but she does comment about the children. He comes with two other guys; “One was fat boy in black trousers…with a stallion embossed on the front of It.

While he was driving through the dirt road, and the grandmother was still thinking about the house, she had a terrible thought, that her feet jumped up, which caused the cat “Pitty Sing” to jump on Bailey’s shoulder after which he lost control of the car and they had a terrible accident, but everybody was okay, except some bruises. But after reading the story I am glad that the story wasn’t what I thought it would be, instead it was more interesting, and intriguing on the fact that there aren’t any trust worthy people left in this world and that everything is self motivated. I liked the way the writer explains each and every detail, but at the same time she doesn’t go into that much detail either. The thought that she had was, “the house she remembered so vividly was not in Georgia but in Tennessee. irection with a criminal like that aloose in it. During the trip John Wesley suggests that they go through Georgia a kind of a shortcut, so that they don’t have to go through Tennessee.
